As a Nintendo fan, I have followed the company since I was a toddler - not so much because I'm a hardcore gamer but because I just generally enjoy what they have to offer. Over time, I've collected many of the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64 games, though I'll admit I don't play much of them these days.

BuI was very excited about the nostaglia brought to my generation by the Nintendo Wii console. At long last, after two years, I finally gathered the courage to buy a Wii for myself - as a personal graduation gift, no less.

Having had a virtual video game hiatus throughout the latter part of high school and all of college, I felt it was about time that I bought my own console. I already have the entire library of NES, SNES, and N64 games (yes, I skipped on Gamecube, as I was in college by that point).

With all the Wii has to offer (including backwards compatibility with Gamecube games), I am proud to expand my collection. Today, I proudly own the following Wii games and accessories (in addition to my expansive collection of classic NES, SNES, and Nintendo 64 games).

Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - anime-inspired fighter with lots of fighting and fireworks
Elebits - blast away and make a mess
Mario Kart Wii - race and battle with karts and bikes
Mario Strikers Charged - soccer, only with all the chaos of Kart
Super Smash Bros Brawl - duke it out with absolute mayhem
Wii Sports - bowling and tennis are a must

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - the spiritual sequel to the Ocarina of Time
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed* - Wield a Wiimote lightsaber in this sequel to Episode III
Super Mario Galaxy* - the true sequel to Super Mario 64
Super Paper Mario - an innovative, new 2D-to-3D Mario game with a nice retro feel
Zack & Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure* - bring back the age-old Sierra puzzle games

*Limited 2nd player functionality available

If you're around, come on by and we can have "Wii party". It is, after all, a party console and works best with multiplayer. Sure online play is adequate, but it's best when you're both going head-to-head in the living room.

I have 4 sets of Wii remotes and nunchucks, as well as 4 Gamecube controllers. So let me know, and we'll have some fun.
